Excel was originally a Mac programme before it ousted Lotus 1-2-3 as the standard spreadsheet.

On a Mac you can:
-- Use CSV or similar interchange format and have an extra step when importing or exporting from Excel
-- Use Windows through Boot Camp or Parallels/VMWare
-- Use either the Andy Khan's JExcelAPI or Apache POI java libraries. These are actually more powerful (formatting/object orientation) than the MATLAB library and don't require a copy of Excel to read or write sheets but may require a bit more programming and don't give you point and click transfer of results. MATLAB has some integration features for Java. I think JExcel does not handle xml formats but POI handles both original xls and xml formats through more or less the same API. POI seems to take a little more getting used to.
